Representative Data: GLP-1R Multi-MOA Profiling
Eurofins DiscoverX's GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) assay portfolio illustrates a comprehensive approach to obesity research, with complete MOA coverage for a single target: GLP-1. These assays enable complete pharmacological profiling across cAMP, β-arrestin, and internalization.

GLP-1R representative assay results (dose-response curves) for exendin-4, tirzepatide, and retatrutide.
A. cAMP dose–response;
B. β-arrestin recruitment showing ligand bias; and
C. internalization profiles distinguishing highly versus weakly internalizing agonists.
Together, these datasets exemplify the depth of pharmacological insight enabled by Eurofins DiscoverX platforms. This multi-dimensional characterization extends across our full obesity and diabetes product portfolio, including GIPR, GCGR, AMY receptors, MC4R, and beyond.
Beyond Eurofins DiscoverX Products: The Full Power of Eurofins Discovery
Eurofins DiscoverX cell lines, assays, kits, and custom product solutions represent the foundation of tools for GPCR research and drug discovery and development. When these product solutions are combined with Calixar GPCR membrane proteins and Eurofins Discovery GPCR services, the benefits from integration provide the most comprehensive GPCR research and drug discovery platform spanning the entire discovery and development continuum.
Eurofins Discovery GPCR services offer hundreds of binding and functional assays, available individually or in panels. These assays use the same platform as the Eurofins DiscoverX assays and beyond.
Calixar GPCR membrane proteins, as a service, provides a wide array of GPCRs from various species, purified to the highest standards to ensure purity, integrity, and biological activity. These GPCRs are excellent for use in functional, structural, or identification assays, as they are strictly identical to the ones in membranes.
